There is just nothing like the smell of clean laundry, you know? Well except for the clean part... that is absolutely better then just smelling clean! LOL

I have been a longtime Purex lover. I love the way it makes my clothes feel and smell. Purex is freshness I can feel. And Purex plus Clorox 2 is the crème de la crème... it's soooo good!

I used Purex plus Clorox 2 on a load of towels that had been used to wash the car and they came out fresh and clean as a whistle. I also used it on my bed linens. But the real test was my dark clothes, because darks seem to collect a ton of dirt, but Purex handled it!

I cannot say enough about the great scent and bright clean! Except for the fact that it is also a smart value, you get a lot of bang for your buck with Purex. 

But don't take my word for it, I want you to try it for yourself. That's why I'm giving away a coupon for a free bottle to two lucky winners!

Cascade Platinum Pacs are Terrific! #sponsored

I participated in this campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

I am the child of a bona fide clean freak! I grew up in a household where pillowcases were ironed, dust was nonexistent, and not a dish was left in the sink overnight. My mother's first name should be Tidy!

While I am certainly not my mother, I am her child, so you won't be surprised when I tell you that I wash every dish (thoroughly) before placing them in the dishwasher.  I do this because I want to make sure that the dishes are clean.

Cascade Platinum Pacs may be the answer to my dishwashing prayers! These little packages not only clean dishes (including 24-hour stuck on food), but they're also designed to prevent hard water buildup in the dishwasher. But what I'm most impressed with is that Cascade Platinum Pacs ELIMINATE the need for pre-washing.

When your dishes are clean you can not only feel good about the food you're serving, but you can feel confident about the presentation as well. I think clean dishes make food look even more delicious. If you agree I encourage you to enter the Cascade #MyPlatinum Instagram Contest!

Cascade has partnered with Top Chef Judge, Gail Simmons, to discuss why presentation is so important (especially now that everybody shares everything that they eat on social media):


Go on and snap some shots of your favorite dishes and enter the contest! Two lucky winners will receive a brand spanking new Whirlpool Dishwasher every week (contest will run until 6/30/13). One grand prize winner will receive a Platinum Kitchen makeover!

There are still two weeks to enter:

Week 3 (6/17 - 6/23): My Platinum Clink - show us your sparkling glasses.
Week 4 (6/24 - 6/30): My Platinum Table - show us your tablescape
Grand Prize Entry (6/3 - 6/30)

Be sure to include the #MyPlatinum hashtag and @MyCascade with your entries. Good luck!!!

Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover Gel Review & Coupon Giveaway

I received a free bottle of Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover as a Purex Insider to facilitate this review.

Mold and mildew are the enemy in my house. I have been known to throw away good containers simply because the contents got a little fuzzy. It chaps my hide when I see mildew developing in the grout. Mold and Mildew cannot live here - period!

For years I used a popular mold and mildew stain remover whose name I shall not mention in this post (starts with the T), but the fumes are brutal. The chlorinated smell gets inside your nose and stays for hours. While it is effective, you have to open every single window in the house if you use the stuff.

Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover is way less pungent. I mean you can still smell it, but it doesn't permeate the air with the same harshness. More importantly it's effective. I love that it's just thick enough to stick, but not too thick to get stuck, it "clings," and it's effective, see:

This is mold and mildew stain remover can bring back the white your grout used to know. It's pretty excellent! So it seems that my old brand just got replaced by Soft Scrub and I'm completely okay with that!

Buy it: Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover in a store near you.

Of course your want a chance to try it out for free, right?

Win it: It is always my pleasure to present an opportunity for you to try out fabulous products. So I'm giving away a coupon for one free Soft Scrub product to two lucky winners!

Soft Scrub Review & Coupon Giveaway (CLOSED)

When purchasing household cleaners I am always looking for something that will be effective, but non-abrasive. I mean it totally defeats the purpose to clean your counters only to have the surface all scratched up, which is what some cleaners do.  But Soft Scrub is different, it always has been. With Soft Scrub I get the clean I want, without defacing my own property!

I recently tried two new Soft Scrub products:

The Soft Scrub Total line is awesome! The All-purpose Total with Bleach is great for the kitchen or the bathroom, it works wonders on grout! The Total Bath & Bowl is great for all bathroom surfaces (toilets, sinks, showers...).  What I like best about both cleaners is a little novelty actually, the bottles spray upside down too!

It's nice to have a cleaner that I can trust to do tough jobs, gently. This is a great segue for the Soft Scrub Tough & Gentle Sweepstakes! Click on the link to enter for a chance to win! One lucky winner will receive $1,000 and fifty winners will receive a $40 in gift cards!

Buy it:
You can purchase Soft Scrub Total products almost anywhere cleaning products are sold.

Heinz White Vinegar - keep it on hand

White vinegar is one of my favorite things.   If you’ve ever done a science project you know that vinegar and baking soda can make a volcano erupt!!  I’ll bet you’ll be surprised at the other things that white vinegar can do:

Got hard water?

White vinegar can get out hard water with little or no effort.  I add a bit to the bottom of my tea kettle at least once a month to make sure there is no hard water residue.  Just last night I poured a little into the water dispenser catch tray on my refrigerator and this morning the water stains were history!

Stuck-on Food in the Microwave

Every household has at least one or more family members who refuses to cover food in the microwave and you know what that means?  Stuck-on food.   Pour a 1-to-1 portion of vinegar and water into a microwave safe bowl, microwave to a boil, and those stuck-on foods will get unstuck.

No more itching

Summer is on the way and with it will come bug bites.  While keeping the bugs from biting in the first place is the best prevention, but when that fails – use vinegar.  Dab a little at the bite site and the itching will cease.

Extend your nail polish ladies

If you swab your nail beds with vinegar before applying color, you color will last longer.  Make sure your 7-day mani/pedi really lasts for 7 whole days!

Keep your veggies colorful

A cap full of vinegar goes a long way.  When you boil or steam vibrant colored vegetables (broccoli, beets, etc.) a teaspoon of vinegar will help retain the color, while adding to the flavor too.

For more useful white vinegar tips visit the Heinz website.  How about a $0.50 off coupon?  Click here.

Clorox® Ultimate Care Bleach

As a child, my mother was fanatical about clean. She did laundry every saturday morning (she would get started before sunrise) and Clorox® bleach was part of her routine.

Since we live what we learn,  I grew up to use Clorox®as part of my laundry routine too. A few years ago, my mother bought me a bottle of Clorox® Ultimate Care, she said that it was even better than the original.  I may challenge my mother about a lot of things, but not when it comes to cleaning.  She knows her cleaning products, so if she says it's better...then it really is.  I've been using it every since.

Clorox® Ultimate Care helps to keep you clothes white.  It removes tough stains gently - you won't ever have to worry about the bleach eating away at the fabric. It's thicker than regular bleach, so you don't need to use a lot.  The smell is also more tame, so you'll actually be able to smell your fabric softener and not bleach.

Clorox® Brand Products has been a trusted household name since the 1900’s. Read all about the history of the brand here.  Save $1.00 on Clorox® Laundry Stain Remover Spray.
